Research has shown that children with Inflammatory Bowel Disease may have lower levels of
vitamin D than healthy children, especially in the winter. Vitamin D is important for
growing and maintaining healthy bones throughout life, and this is particularly important,
since children with IBD frequently have low bone density. It may also be helpful in the
treatment of IBD itself, because it helps reduce inflammation. Vitamin D levels are
measured by the amount of 25 OHD in the bl...

Vitamin D deficiency is common in the general population in the United States, but is more
common in overweight and obese children. Additionally, vitamin D levels are inversely
correlated with body mass index, hypertension, inflammatory markers and insulin resistance.
There are currently no clear guidelines regarding vitamin D replacement in obese but
otherwise healthy children. The Endocrine Society recommends that children with vitamin D
deficiency should take 2000 IU once a ...

The purpose of the study is to see if giving vitamin and mineral supplements helps to
protect infants and children from diarrhea, which vitamins and minerals help to improve a
child's weight and growth, and if the same results occur in infants and children with HIV.
HIV is the virus that causes AIDS. Study participants will include 516 infants aged 4-6
months. Participants will include: (1) HIV-infected children, (2) HIV-uninfected children
with HIV-infected mothers, and (3) HI...

Vitamin B12 plays a key role in the development and normal functioning of the brain and
nervous system. Unborn and new-born infants derive their vitamin B12 stores almost entirely
from maternal B12 stores. As such, infants who are born to vegetarian mothers and exclusively
breast fed are at a high-risk of B12 deficiency. This is because the best sources of vitamin
B12 are found in animal based or fortified foods (e.g. cheese, milk and eggs). Vitamin B12
deficiency is widely rep...

The aim of this study is to prevent asthma symptoms (recurrent wheeze) in childhood by
supplementation with high dose vitamin D to the mother during pregnancy. Participants are
mothers and children of the ABC (Asthma Begins in Childhood) cohort. Mothers are recruited
during pregnancy and receive daily supplement with 2400 IU of Vitamin D3 or placebo from
week 24 og gestation to 1 week after delivery. In addition all mothers are advised to take
the recommended dose of 400 IU vit...

Vitamin D is important to maintain good health. Although it is found in foods and vitamins,
many people still have low vitamin D levels. One purpose of this study is to describe
vitamin D levels from patients at the University of Colorado Seniors Clinic. Another goal
of the study is to find out if education by a pharmacist can increase vitamin D levels in
patients who have low vitamin D levels.

Vitamin D deficiency is frequently reported in pregnant women despite recommendation of
daily vitamin D supplementation of 400IU/d. Recent studies have shown that in the absence of
sun exposure these doses are seldom able to achieve 25(OH)D optimal serum levels.
We hypothesize that larger doses of vitamin D are needed to be supplemented to all women
during pregnancy. We hypothesize that this may have advantageous effects on maternal vitamin
D and bone reserve as well on offspr...

The purpose of this study is to find out what effects, good and/or bad, vitamin D blood
levels has on stage IV colorectal cancer. Tbe doctors want to see if it is possible to
increase low vitamin D levels into normal range using vitamin D supplements taken by mouth.
Low vitamin D levels have been associated with worse outcomes in persons who have cancer.
Low vitamin D may also cause people to have symptoms such as pain and fatigue. We want to
see if increasing low vitamin D lev...

Vitamin D deficiency in childhood leads to poor bone growth and muscle weakness, yet it is
unknown if the amount of vitamin D a woman consumes during her pregnancy affects her child's
bone and muscle development. In collaboration with researchers in Bangladesh, the
investigators recently completed a study of vitamin D supplementation during pregnancy in
which women were assigned to 1 of 5 groups containing vitamin D or placebo (no vitamin D).
The investigators now aim to conduc...

Vitamin D deficiency (low levels of vitamin D in the blood) is a common problem. A recently
discovered protein, called hCAP18, likely plays an important role in the immune system and
may depend on adequate levels of vitamin D. It is not known what levels of vitamin D are
needed to allow the body to make this protein. Nor is it known if giving vitamin D to people
who are found to be deficient will help boost levels of hCAP18. This study aims to clarify
the relationship between v...

Viral infections are the main cause of asthma attacks in preschoolers, an age group with the
highest rate of emergency visits due to asthma. While high doses of inhaled or oral
corticosteroids provide benefits, these have been associated with adverse outcomes. Most
asthmatic children have lower blood levels of vitamin D compared to non-asthmatic children.
Low vitamin D level has been linked to more frequent and more severe asthma attacks as well
as with higher dose requirement...

Early lung function deficits represent a significant risk factor for the evolution toward
chronic obstructive pulmonary disease later in life. Prematurity and in utero tobacco smoke
exposure are already known to predispose children to develop a non-reversible obstructive
ventilatory defect in adulthood. The role of vitamin D status during pregnancy is less
certain. In humans, low vitamin D concentrations during pregnancy are associated to an
increased risk of asthma in children...

Prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in children in the northern country during winter season
is very high (up to 90%). Vitamin D supplementation at a dose 600 -1000 IU/d is recommended
in Polish children from September till April. However, there is shortage of studies in Polish
children. The aim of the study is to assess the effectiveness of vitamin D supplementation in
the prevention of vitamin D deficiency in Polish children (4-10 years of age).

Vitamin D deficiency is highly prevalent in the UK. Research shows that vitamin D enhances
the immune system and may help protect against chest infections that can cause wheezing
illness or worsen asthma symptoms. The Department of Health recommends a dose of 10
micrograms of vitamin D/day to prevent severe vitamin D deficiency in children. However,
many studies have reported that this dose is not enough to raise plasma 25(OH)D
concentration to the levels most likely to prevent...

Some experts recommend that all breastfed babies receive supplemental vitamin D. The
purpose of this study is to determine the rate of vitamin D use in breastfed babies, the
recommendations of pediatricians regarding vitamin D, and the impact on these
recommendations on parental choice of vitamin D. In addition, in preparation for a large
study to see how many breastfed children who don't receive supplemental vitamin D have
rickets, in this study we will determine if a simple...

The goal of this study is to assess whether 3-5 years-old children who have Vitamin A intakes
above the tolerable upper intake level (UL=900 ug per day) have higher total body Vitamin A
stores and biomarkers of excessive vitamin A status, compared to children with Normal Vitamin
A intakes (250-600 ug per day).

Background:
- Pregnant women are encouraged to take the vitamin folate. It helps prevent some birth
defects. Children of mothers who take it also have less risk of some cancers. Between 1993
and 1995, some women in China took the vitamin daily before and during early pregnancy.
Another group did not. This study will follow up on children born to both sets of women.
(The children were born between 1994 and 1996.) Researchers will use these data to study the
link between f...

The main purpose of this study is to investigate whether and in which doses vitamin D intake
is needed in order to maintain an adequate vitamin D status in 4-8 year-old Danish children
during wintertime.

Research has shown that Vitamin D is important in preventing rickets in children,
osteomalacia in adults, certain cancers, cardiovascular disease, Type 2 Diabetes, and
metabolic syndrome. Data suggests that Vitamin D deficiency is common throughout the world.
With increasing medical conditions being linked to Vitamin D deficiency, it is suggested
that establishing early normal Vitamin D levels is important to long term health.
There are low quantities of maternal Vitamin D tha...
